AP Calculus Dunmore School District Dunmore, PA
AP Calculus Prerequisite: Successful completion of Trigonometry/Pre-Calculus Honors Advanced Placement Calculus is the highest level mathematics course offered by the Dunmore School District. It is very rigorous and taught at the college level. Topics covered in this course include analytic geometry, limits of functions, differentiation and integration of functions, and applications of differentiation and integration. The Advanced Placement Calculus course prepares students to take the Advanced Placement Calculus Examination in May of their senior year, thus affording these students with the opportunity to do college level work and earn college credit while still in high school. This course will challenge even the most capable of mathematical minds. The work covered in this course will help the student develop analytical reasoning skills and disciplined study habits necessary for success in college. Students pursuing college majors requiring advanced mathematics courses will benefit from this advanced mathematics training. Since the content of the Advanced Placement Calculus AB course is beyond the scope of Common Core, the Collegeboard Curriculum Framework 2016-2017 document was used as a guide to write this curriculum.
